RAWALPINDI, January 20:  Programme of majalis e aza and matamdari processions in connection with Hafta Aseeran e Karbala continued throughout the country on Wednesday. On this occasion programmes of majalis and matami processions were held in different Imam Bargahs and Aza Khanaz.

Ulmae Karam and Waezeen Uzaam honoured the sacrifices offered by the captives of Karbala and the pious ladies of the household of the Holy Prophet (pbut). Khateeba Aale Nabi Syeda Bint e Ali Mousavi while addressing majlis at Imam Bargah Jamia tul Murtaza G-9/4 Islamabad said that the addresses of the pious ladies of the household of the Holy Prophet (pbut) which shattered heathenism in the bazaars of Kufa o Shaam and the Courts of Yazid O Ibne Zayad are a luminous chapter of the Islamic history.

She said that while Imam Hussain conquered Karbala, Zainab O Zainul Abdin (pbut) crushed Kufa O Shaam and had Zainab (pbuh) not stood fast shoulder to shoulder with Imam Hussain (pbuh) then victory of Karbala would not have been completed. She said that Islam is a combination of Wala o Aza.

Binte Ali emphasized the fact that the grandson of the Holy Prophet Hazrat Imam Hussain (pbuh) sacrificed himself in order to give eternal Life to Islam. She said that it is essential to follow the message of Hussainiat to turn this world into hub of peace. On this occasion Mohtarma Hafeeza Khatoon recited elegy (marsia Khani).

Majlis was held under the auspices of Irfan Haider Brethren at Aza Khana Baitul Fatima (pbuh), Sarwar Road, Rawalpindi.  Allama Qamar Zaidi while addressing majlis said that in every era azadari is a universal protest against oppression and supports the oppressed of the world. 

He clarified that walae Ali and Aza e Hussain are the basis of our beliefs and all schools of thought are agreed upon the prominence of Mohammad (pbuh) and his pure family (pbut). He underlined the fact that Azadari is a great memorial of Imam Hussain (pbuh) and through which propagation of Islam is continued.

Zakir Sajid Ali Sajid and Zakir Sajid Hussain addressed the majlis while Sheikh Wasim Abbas recited Salam. To conclude the majlis Matami dasta Alqaim performed matamdari O Noha Khani.
